Jonathan’s surprise visit rattles Ikeja Police College Commandant

The police authorities were in shock last night after an angry President Goodluck Jonathan stormed out of the Police College, Ikeja, Lagos during an unexpected visit to personally assess the rot at the college.

The President’s visit was provoked by a weeklong expose by the Lagos –based Channels Television on the dehumanising conditions trainee policemen go through in the college.

President Jonathan, who was on his way to Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire for a meeting of ECOWAS leaders on the insurgency in Mali, was as embarrassed by what he saw as the inability of the Commandant of the institution, Police Commissioner I.F.Yerima, to answer any of the four questions he asked the police officer.

The President and his entourage, including the Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) Zone Two, Mamman Tsafe, and the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Umar Manko, drove into the college at about 3pm and parked in front of the Sports Store.

From there,he walked to the hostels. He also inspected the women’s hostels,the kitchen, the dining halls facing the parade field and the officers’ mess.

Security was tight with armed soldiers and policemen deployed in strategic places in the college.

As he left the mess to enter his car, he suddenly paused and faced CP Yerima to ask him a few questions.

By now, a crowd had gathered struggling to see the President and were at the same time hailing him.

He waved to them to acknowledge their greetings.

Then came the first question for the College Commandant: How was Channels TV able to penetrate and record the mess without detection?

The CP had no answer.

The second question followed: When was the recording done. Again there was no answer.

The Commandant turned to his deputy and other senior officers to assist him in answering the President’s questions, but none was able to help him out.

The President then quipped: “This is a calculated attempt to damage the image of the government, as the college is not the only training institution in the country.”

He soon entered his car and left.

After the President’s departure, the college Commandant met briefly with his officers before he too took his leave.

Senior officers later gathered in groups to review the visit.

Some of policemen in the college who pleaded for anonymity were happy at the President’s visit which they said would help in reversing the fortunes of the college.

They called for the probe of the trainees’ welfare in the last five years.

i am ashamed that Mr president can ask such question or his handlers were trying to expose him. must every rot in the system be hidden till eternity. this is positive journalism ( investigative) which Person of Dr Areoye Oyebola of blessed daily times was noted for
now he has seen things as reported , his concern should be how to remedied it. what will he say if he travels from lagos to ibadan, police barrack along Ikeja. mr president only thinks of himself and how he can cover much of this deacy as he possible can before 2015.

I will advice every reader of the thenation and punch newspaper should always go through other newspapers before making any comment because this I’ve been doing for sometimes now as i discovered this 2 media houses has been fabricating stories.

@mr Bello, Criticizing leaders is the easiest thing on earth. He should have done this or that, is all what people always say. Do we as Nigerians do what we are supposed to do ? The answer is NO. Here is a man voted into office as President and Commander in Chief of Armed Forces and nobody appreciates anything he does. PHCN has , in the last two years since GEJ took over, generated 4 times more Mega watts than what OBJ did in 8 years. Nobody has hailed him for that. Roads are being constructed or resurfaced nationwide, and it is going to generate 10,000 mega watts of Electricity by Dec 2013. I don’t think this rot was brought to his attention by the Police authorities and he did nothing. Therefore you can imagine the shock seeing the documentary when the Police authorities did not bring such to his knowledge. I would feel same, if all my efforts are not appreciated.
When you are in Command and you are criticized always and the good aspects are not appreciated, you will view any criticism as plan by the enemy to bring you down.
That is the reason why we as Nigerians must play our role well in this country. We don’t expect the President to go to Police College to start inspecting, them to ensure that all is well when he has people appointed to supervise such places.
If I were Mr President, heads will roll because it is an evidence that they are not helping him. Why do they have bring in a TV station to start filming an Institution like that. If the Commandant is not aware of it, then he is not fit to be in Command. It means that one day, Boko Haram may come and kill as many and destroy buildings while he sleeps away.
This is a calculated attempt to embarrass this government. At whatever age one is , one still behaves as a child in such training institutions. They damage things easily. It is no man’s property and therefore anything goes. I will not be surprised if that institution was vandalized by recruits after renovation a few years ago. Things can be smuggled out at night . I am not saying that it should not be renovated but there is a process for getting done. Besides, TV station is mot the best because the whole world sees the programmes. NOBODY WASHES HIS OR HER FAMILY ‘S DIRTY LINEN IN THE PUBLIC.

Kayode Akanbi

You miss the whole point, which is NIGERIA has no maintaince CCLTURE.

omoniger66

Mr. President should be ashamed of himself to ask those questions. Is it today he is aware that most of the country’s institutions are in the final stage of complete decay. He was disappointed that the police college could not hide away the rot at the institution as Mr. President and his PDP leaders cover up the rot in the society. He should have constant visit to other institutions to see the rot he presides.

Random

I was astonished at the questions and comment of the president upon visiting the college. When I first saw the braking news at SaharaReorpters, I thought the president is now trying to see things himself and with that, things will change in the country. But now, imagine that he went there just because Channels TV reported the rot therein. He was more concern about how channels got to film the college than the rot he saw there. Again, his final remark: tarnishing the image of this government as this is not the only trainning college in the country. This further brings to light that Nigeria is in need of a true leader. A concern leader should appreciate that and make more moves to alliviate the sufferings of the people. I hope Channels TV and other media houses both print and electronic would continue to exposed similar decays in all sectors of the country.

Kayode Akanbi

My Brother God will bless you .

Saka Alapafuja

The questions and the conclusions are the most stupid anyone can ask in the circumstance. What is the essence of such folish questions? To what extent would such questions bring about the improvement of the recruits in the college. Is the President so bereft of ideas that he doesn’t know what to say? Shouldn’t the President commend Channels television for such investigative reporting rather than see it as an attempt to embarrass the government. Can the President wish that his enemies and oppositions live in such dingy condition. This nation is doomed if it’s president will leave substance and pursue shadows. To hell with him.

Sir KAY

Dear Patriots, at home and in diaspora. It is long overdue to rise up to salvage Nigeria from the hand of GEJ. From his actions and inactions, i am more than convinced that the country is under verge of collapse as it’s(Nigeria) is an oversize shoe for Jonathan to manage. The most recent evidence is the impromptu visit to Police Training College, Lagos. Much as one would like to applaud the visit, the 4 questions asked by Mr. President revealed his real intention. How the Channels TV crew gained access to the College should NOT occupy the front burner. Rather, how and why the institution got to that state of discrepit, and way out of the wood, i thought should be the greatest concern.

Coco-Bassey,Esu

well done mr president,but will this visit change anything other than setting of aimless commitees upon committee wit no action

COSH

What has he (the President) done that you are thanking him? Asking stupid questions?

What nonsense! ““This is a calculated attempt to damage the image of the government”
Is Jonathan for real? Instead of him to look at this expose as a wake up call to revitalize the training college, he is as usual giving it a political meaning. What other training colleges is he referring to that is not having similar issues. pls mr president for once in your miserable presidency, be a man and do the right thing and stop letting your emotions run you! Thank you!

Eromodan

More of this surprise visits will do our institution good.

chuks

I think the question should have been, who are those responsible for the mess in college all these years. I believe the president would have been very please with the Channel TV for bringing this to light because it is the biggest embarrassment of the new year and big shame for all Nigerians especially for both the present and former IG’s especially those of them who were accused of corruption after their service. It is a total mess of our century that has thrown all our prestige as a nation on the ground. Is a clear evidence of type of corruption that has existed in the police force. I plead with Mr. President to back date the probe to 20 years because this is not a neglect of five years. A lot of IG’s, commissioners, commandants and trainees have come and gone without an assessment of what is happening.

waka-about

Presido, why not address the dehumanising conditions trainee policemen go through in the college instead of focusing on how Channels got access? Even if it is not the only training institution in the country, human beings should not be exposed to such conditions. I bet you one year from now nothing would have changed for the trainees

dafe sama

The IGP can not deny not knowing the sorry condition of the Nigerian Police College besides the situation in that college is same in most other colleges and government institutions all over the country, in the summary, Nigeria is a confused state

Gerald Ibegbulem

Tomorrow now you’ll hear someone say that JonaBoy is a dull lad. Carry go boy. Only give chance if you see Rochas coming.

OshyLike

Is there any correlation between a typical Ph.D holder in Nigeria and the current Nigerian president? I need to know if this question will be significant to a null hypothesis addressing this question. Can someone help me?

santular j

dear friend, for sure good leadership has nothing to do with degrees. the simple question is, does Obama have Ph.D ? simply put there is no correlation,

If what he was quoted to have asked a questions are true,then he is duller than ever, they keep making a star out of obasanjo.

Joshua

Mr president is not serious, intead of askin how nd Y de college is in a mess, he was askin hw nd wen de channel televsion had access to de colege, No prblm, 2015 is nt far, we shall c.

dddddddd

ssssssssssssss

Assoc. Prof.Reginald Onuoha

Good.The president should quickly set up a committee tha should tour all the police formations to know whether their environment is friendly and whether it is capable of sustaining existence.The TV station that brought the mess at police college to lime light should be given an award.The test of test of admissibility is relevancy and not illegallity.The freedom of information Act is assisting the present Government.Assoc. Prof. Onouoha Reginald is from faculty of law Imo state university Owerri

mary Zhang

which committee, what kind of professor are you? Why are you impressed by Jonathan’s questions, the question should be how the college came to that mess and why the media exposed it.

frank akin

I keep telling nigeria that Mr president is nothing but for himself. Since he allowed his wife to be one of the absent parm sec is an indication the man has no prestige. Nigeria thought he will be of any good they voted for him and not pdp but come to find out history will prove him to be worst than OBJ. But as long as we keep waiting for god to deliver us from them and they know god is not coming anytime soon they will keep doubling their efforts to destroy nigeria.

Nkadi

Obviously from his look , you can tell he’s not ready to work. How on earth did we get here?

Mr President, to me is now known for corruption, why would he ask about such incredible investigative reporting was carried out, I expected the president to ask what has been happening to budgets that have been made available for development of Nigerian establishment PCI inclusive. May God help this Country.

Gambo

Well done Mr President. Such surprise visit should be paid to where military personnel are leaving. The maintenance money has never reached there. It is self effort for decades.

I think Mr President should commend the Channels crew for exposing the rot. The questions asked are really unfortunate.

emmy

The questions are baseless. What Channel has done is their primary responsibility. The incompetent PRESIDENT should commend them for the over sight function. Kudos to channel. My concern is what is the next of action. Let him start by sacking the IG for failure to deploy the resources made available for the college. We are waiting!!

Mkie in London

As someone who grew up in Ikeja and now live in Colindale London, I have seen two police colleges. Ikeja and Colindale . The big difference is leaders here see a problem and move seriously to solve them. Back home we see problems and immediately thinks enemies are at work. GEJ have no vision or plans for Nigeria, that is why he is unable to see a the need for positive leadership by solving obvious problems. A true leader would have been more concerned about how to improve the lot of those trainee policemen who get dehumanized during training and turns out to be mean as service men. Solve the shambles called Ikeja Police College and stop these your verbal assults on your surbodinates Mr President!

obasi

Mike, what about Graham Park where you live. Is it better than Ajegunle or Marine beach in Lagos?

Hear my 9 yrs old son, “daddy what happened to all the money given to the college?” he said after listening to the conversation between me and his uncle, concerning Ikeja police college. I was so proud of him, ‘cos he had better to ask, than our president. Fellow country men, it has nothing to do with age, but IQ.

Igodomigodo

If it was Adams Oshiomhole, you’ll hear of an instant sack of this person or that person for non-performance. I bet you this is how the story will end.
I have long known Jonathan to be a confused man. Thank God i voted for Buhari. He was my better choice.

Benvolio

If indeed GEJ asked those four questions my assessment of him has moved from mere hypothesis to theory.
GEJ, lack the mental capacity,emotional maturity and stability to be in a position of leadership, talkless of Nigerian presidency.
He cannot conceptualise nor appreciate what it takes to be where he is.Shikena!
How else do you explain his abandoning leprosy and chasing after ring worm?
This is one moment that confirm how golden silence could turn out to be.And he lost it!

george

I dont know why many people are astonished by the question the man parading himself as president was asking. Someone like me never expected anything diff. Jonathan has been given a responsibilty clearly beyond his mental capability. Imagine he was more concerned about how channels tv got access to expose the rots in that college. This country is in real trouble

Marty

I think Mr. President’s questions are also investigative. This is where our security personnel are being trained and the leader did not know when a video recording was done. So, what will happen if the trainees graduate with this type of attitude? Can any journalist no matter how investigative you may be go to CIA office and record video without being noticed? Tell me if you have these type Police Officers in Aso Rock what will be the fate of the government officials there? I think that is where the President is concerned.

Marty, i had thot in the same manner u had thot, But somehow dumbfounded when the president was quoted as follows: ‘This is a calculated attempt to damage the image of the government, as the college is not the only training institution in the country’ . This is the summary of the drive to visit the police college. I had thot the President would say, i will be back in 6 months to see a tremendous change..if not all heads would roll. Channel TV office is just 5 mins trek to the police college. So, it is obvious that at some point the police college would be news.

frank

With those questions… The president just lost lost my vote…………….

Truly Nigerian

PCI can best be described as a paradise when compared to other police traning institutions and barracks scatered across the sates of Nigeria. Years of corruption and neglect by past and present administrations in the country has produced the inept police we are enjoying today. If you doubt me check the nearest police station or barrack.The comments by the president shows the cluelesssness of our rulers who are actually not seeing the psunami that is about to swallow the entity called Nigeria because of maladministration from years of blind rulership

nnamdi

Nation and their pull down GEJ government syndrome.So you mean GEJ after spending close to 1 hour at the police college was only able to make three sentences?Nation una try.

Olakanla pastor Seyi

Whaoooo, I love that and I know Mr president will do too. Emerging that, with all the money allocated to that ministry. God bless the Tv station and the courage of the investigator. You are voted for a Jonathan special duty award taking place in Aso rock very soon. God bless.

Well done mr president , u have shown that u area good leader , do sum thing

Ogbeni Akin

Can any good things come out of these PDP guys? Their Manifesto is just to deceive the whole world, and enslave the people. Jonathan can send his wife to Germany for medical reasons, but he cannot fix the rot in our training colleges including police training college. He can appropriate billions of Naira to Patience kitchen, but cannot develop the standard of our teaching hospitals. Why can’t Patience go to Uniport teaching hospital for treatment? Is she better than my mother? who is a professor? You all will reap what you sow. We loved you before thinking you were one of us, no shoe, no bag, no belt, no drinking water, blabla….. Sack the commandan, that will be your next line of action, but God will raise him up. Kill all the institutions like your predecessors did to the universities. Now we have, American university, Bell, Heritage etc. Hope u will privatise police college also. I dey o, I need license to float one. Mumu people.

Umeh

Now I believe that the President is more confused than ever. The applaude he would’ve received by the impromptu visit was tarnished by his uncordinated questions.

AZIZA

Well, to talk about corruption in the police formation is an understatement. But lets interpret what the president meant differently for once. He probably might have been so stunned on the discoveries that were so glaring to the extent that what came to his mind was “SECURITY ISSUE”. If the organisation is actually where you train people to eventually be entrusted with the nations security. How could it have been possible that such damaging but realistic episodes be covered by an electronics media in a broad day light? Knowing fully well that they(The Police) would always want to cover up their dirty and corrupt activities from the Nigerian public. The president’s statement is just made in despair having imagined how much of the Nigeria fund has gone into servicing security in General and the Police in particular.
God saves us from PDP and their evil machination.

Aziza, your thot is the expectation. Unfortunately, u cannot throw the last statement of the president in to the dustbin…This is a calculated attempt to damage the image of the government, as the college is not the only training institution in the country…if govt refused to do her job..others capable would help. This is what channels TV is doing, soliciting for funds from private sector to help renovate the police college..when govt cannot provide lignt and water, we all had generators and boreholes….finito

D’Aziba Isete

Sudden visits like this by Mr. President and Governors to institutions and agencies will do Nigeria a lot of good. Some times memos will paint correctly the picture on ground but when approvals are made, funds are not judiciously applied and the rot continues. God help us!

Nwakaibe

Jonathan you disappoint me and many Nigerians, You are supposed to use your unscheduled visit to show those men and women in the police college and Nigerians in general that you care by finding out how and why did things get so bad and query the officers in charge. and then find a permanent solution to the situation, but from your actions you are more concerning on who allowed the channels tv access to film the decay in the college.

baba legba

THIS IS A SHAMEFUL PRESIDENT ,IT ALSO SHOW THE DEEP DOWN MIND OF THE SO CALLED PRESIDENT AS A WICK ,COVER UP LOW THINKING CLUELESS AND NO DIRECTIONS PRESIDENT NIGERIAN HAD.
THIS REAL SHOW JONATHAN IS COVER UP PRESIDENT TELLING STUPID CRONIES HOW TO COVER UP THEIR TRICKS
THE MOST CORRUPT REGIME NIGERIA HAD
IT SHOW NO SYMPATHY FOR CONDITION OF TRAINEE NO RECOMMENDATION OF ACTION.
BRAVO GENERAL MURTALA MOHAMMED

Opusar

I think Mr President is first and foremost more concerned about the insecurity in a Country’s Security training institution and it’s sad the senior officers are very insensitive of what transpired. His questions are wake up calls to the leadership of the Police Training College. By and Large, there is still an urgent need for Mr President to take adequate measures to ensure this mess of dilapidation in that college is curbed and corrected as fast as possible.

kudos to Channels tv for the expose.Mr President should be happy about it and not to condemn.He should pay such unscheduled visit to other police colleges in Nigeria to see things for himself.

sam albert

UNBEHALF OF THE GOOD PEOPLE OF NIGERIA, INCLUDING PRESIDENT. GEJ? THANK YOU CHANNELS, MORE OF SUCH, ONE DAY, WE MAY BE LUCKY WITH A LEADER WHO WILL PUNISH SUCH FAILURE AND REMEDY SITUATION AND NOT ASK HOW NEWS MEN GOT ACCESS IF SUCH QUESTIONS WERE TRUELY ASKED.

Elaxy

I Love the commandant for using silence to answer those questions b’cos it’s the best answer to a f**l. Instead of asking of how to find solution to the rot, he was busy protecting the rotten image of a rotten govt. God bless channels, the award winning television.

topside

jonathan is not worthy to b the president of this country, he shuld be thrown to the zoo

We have seen now the kind of president we have. You cannot cover ignorance. Phd over my foot. Did Gowon have a degree when he ruled Nigeria? It depends on how well one develops oneself.When I was reading the news item of the visit to the Police College, I said in my mind the President has started well. But I was disappointed about the questions.I expect him to start questioning the IG, State Commissioner of Police,Minister of Police down the line.He should have given an award to Channels and I hope he would not start to mallaign them. Thank God he didnt say it is the work of the opposition. I bet it, nothing will come out of the visit. Or else, heads should have started to roll just then as Late Murtala would do ” ……with immediate effect”.
There is no action in this President. As he visited this college, he should have done same to Onitsha-Owerri Rd, Lagos-Ibadan Express way etc to see by himself.This will reveal the ineptitude and laziness of some of his ministers. This country needs radical change. We need to be in splendour and comfort in this country.

Hakeem

I weep for Nigeria, we can surely do better than this mumu president. The questions he asked would give you an insight into his mindset, defensive and bereft of ideas. If animals were found in such a place in the UK, people will be fired and will be all over the news. But in my country human beings can be put in such a place and it’s okay. And the fisherman will call our president can only say it’s the handy work of detractors who are trying to bring down the image of his govt!!!

Lanre Akanle

1.How was Channels TV able to penetrate and record the mess without detection?

Mr President -This is not the expected question from you.

It is very unfortunate that you were begging the questions.You could have asked the commandant or IG were there no provisions in the budget for this college for its infrastructures? where are they ?Mr.Corruption has ate it up

2.When was the recording done.

This is out of point.What I expected from Mr.President his to say something like heads will roll-Action-O my God

3.“This is a calculated attempt to damage the image of the government, as the college is not the only training institution in the country.”-

Very disappointing.order a suspension for now, pending the end of a probe would have brought joy for those of us who watched the documentary in disbelief of a scared institution

sly

If the dilapidated condition of the police college is not unearthed by Channels TV, Jonathan by his questions will do nothing towards correcting the ills at the college.

Nigerian Dream

Jonathan , Ebele, Goodluck, what sort of rhetorical questions are you asking ?

Instead of you to accept the facts and realities and stop blaming and laying baseless complains about a calculated attempt to bring down the government.

All these, have been there before you came: so do something better to redeem you image and future manifesto…………………… God bless Nigeria.

Obasi Peter C

From the president’s first question, it can be safely concluded that he, like other Nigerian politicians is completely aware of the dehumanising condition (which he called mess) prevalent in over 98% sectors of tne govt. But, he, like others want this to continue unabeted. Is this why we voted for you, Bro Jonathan. Nakwa-echeki!

Basil

HOW CAN A PRESIDENT SAY SUCH A VEXING WORDS AND CALL HIMSELF A LEADER…NIGERIA HAVE NO PRESIDENT BUT A STEWARD IN ASO ROCK….ALL HAIL BABA AND THE GOVERNORS FORUM MOVE TO REMOVE THIS STAGNANT RETARDED MAN CALL JONATHAN…

Its tru GEJ’s questions aren’t appropriate for d situation on ground bt it is germane dat how channels tv got acces sud b known too.dat no one knows hw d tv station got access is a sign dat d security agents are demselves asleep.kudos to channels tv and all journalists includin ‘THE NATION’

Jomesz

Just wondering whether GEJ was overwhelmed with the rot he saw that he was ashamed that it got into the public domain before he could personally see it. He must have been ashamed of what he saw and, therefore, asked why and how Channels TV got the news out. Well, may be he also forgot that he signed an FOI bill into law and, therefore, Channel TV is legally entitled to enter the PCI and film the rot.
I will counsel that the President calls his IGP to find a solution to the rot and not be angry with eyes and voice of the people.

afowowe chris

My question to those responsible is that, do the institutions of authority have to keep off investigative journalism in dark until everything collapse in the nation? I think the Channels TV deserve an award for the job well done.
Mr President need to wake up and make sure all arms of his government are working, it is then Nigerians would remember him for good. God help President Jonathan. I love Nigeria.

Anajemba

If such recording could be done without been detected then it shows how porous our Security formation are.no wonder BH could bomb our Security formation without braking any sweat.d officers in charge should be redeployed.

Anajemba

Bros, Channels TV is less than 1 min drive to Police college, the truth is that Channels was given approval to do so because the intent was to solicit for funds to upgrade the infrastructure. But unfortunately you shouldnt expect a police officer to admit so before a confused President.

Ogbeni Akin

Mr President, take heed to all the comments in this forum and salvage your battered image. You ought to be a rally point for other children of the poor parents like yours to aspire to this exalted position by displaying exemplary courage to do the right thing. Why not emulate President Obama to think deeply before you talk? You bloated away a great opportunity to win back your lost love. By paying an unscheduled visit to the college, I thought you will come out smoking like Sango and first suspend all the red neck officers in the NPF and the ministry of police affairs, to unravel why the college infrastructural facilities degenerated to such a dehumanizing level. Alas, you disappointed me bros; you really fall my hands. Voting for you again may not be easy o. Greet aunty Patie for me.

“It is better to remain silent and not ask questions and be considered a fool, than to speak and remove all doubts” – Mark Twain

Paul Omamegbe

The President’s questions on the Commandant were in order because the TV crewmen could’t gain access to the School without the permission of the Commandant and the Preident would’t pay an unscheduled visit without trying to know the true state of the School, as an ex Police Officer trained in the College in 1991, the College Authority must answer the President’s questions while administrative action will be taken in due course. So, don’t criticise the Presisent ignorantly

Faisal muhammed

Mr paul, myself being a nigerian and at the same time a policeman, think on my personal opinion that the president shouldn’t have asked such questions because he perfectly know where to ask. But believe of or not he was accusing the commandant of aiding and abetting channelTV, Which in every sense has to come from police governing body -quering the commandant for his action negligence or insubordination. There is also two things we both need to look into [1] if budget was provided for the police collages, and all the schools still remain rotten the president shouldn’t have pose those questions at the commandant.
{2} if a penny was not appropriated for police collages and barracks, his question simply tell of fake police reform agenda of his administration. Because if expect the commandant cover the rotten condition of the collage till enternity.
[3] if the president has not budgeted fund for the upgrade or renovation of police collages, his visit has no meaning at all. Because all and more has to be inclusive in the reform that is on going.
Therefore, i always remind people of this society called Nigeria, the government, the people, the police, and etc. I expect us to blame the society not the govt, or police and the rest because we are all products from the same society.[email protected]

father nedu

i am proud of sir! mr president continue your good work. people MUST complain.

The President questioned how it was possible for a television reporter to gain access to the sleeping quarters of trainee police officers and film “this mess”. He acknowledged that the situation was indeed messy. It was not the place and time to blame the minister, IG, AIG or any other person. But Nigerian armchair critics do not have the time nor the imagination to look at the bigger picture.

That visit alone is an indictment on all who are responsible for training our police force.

The so-called Police Oversight Committee in the Congress can either do their job or abuse another opportunity to make money.

politica

we hav police service commission and ministry of police affairs are their budgets not approved or the police college not in the budget?. Gej kno who he wil ask those question not the commandant;the IG,the minister etc will be querried.While Gej was currious on how journalis entered was bc if common journalist could enter undetected,then it wil be child’s for boko boys to bomb

Ikedon

That the president asked such question doesn’t mean he won’t do something about the mess in the college,the way and manner some people write i feel some sort of frustration in their write-ups

Faisal muhammed

The president was not happy at the exposure, accusing the commandant of aiding ChannelTV in that resortage. In essence expecting the police to cover that rotten environment till enternity, because he’s not ready to upgrade the police of our dream. I don’t believe of the new police reform. Im a policeman but such a comment from my president when it comes to environment which police trains and live, is the worse i have heard. Im sorry for us, and those coming afterward, im sorry for Nigeria.

greg

You can imagine the mentality and ability of those policemen trained under such condition.
